Janik Sinner's 2025 season has been rewarded with its most fitting honor. The Italian has been named the ITF World Champion for the second straight year, a distinction earned through extraordinary consistency at the sport's biggest stages.
The Italian reached all four Major finals in 2025. Thus, he achieved a rare feat that only three players had managed before him in the Open era - Rod Laver, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic!
At just 24, Sinner stands as the youngest player to complete that full-Major final sweep. That places him alongside some of the most enduring figures the game has ever known.
While titles define champions, Jannik's season was built on something deeper and more powerful - reliability under pressure in different parts of the season and on different surfaces.

The San Candido native proved impossible to shake on hard, grass and clay, adapting his game and mindset to every challenge thrown his way. Like in 2024, Alcaraz and Sinner shared Major titles this season.
However, the Italian provided more consistent results than the Spaniard thanks to Carlos' slip in the Australian Open quarter-final. Making four Major finals in a single season is a statement of dominance, a measure of peak performance and mental clarity.
The second straight ITF World Champion honor reflects on Jannik's brilliant numbers and confirms him as the standard-bearer of the modern era on the biggest stage.
Like few players before him, Sinner is capable of sustaining excellence rather than flashing brilliance in isolated moments. Despite a massive Roland Garros setback, he recovered brilliantly and won Wimbledon before losing the US Open final.

Jannik delivered one of the most complete campaigns at Majors and earned his place among the legends. He is the ninth player with multiple ITF World Champion awards.
More importantly, Sinner joined Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Ivan Lendl, Pete Sampras, Lleyton Hewitt, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as the back-to-back winner.
